The Cooperating Libraries of Greater Springfield (CLGS), as an agency of the Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield, (CCGS) each with its individual strengths and diverse populations, have combined to provide greater service to patrons through the sharing of information resources. Thus, all students and faculty of Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield have immediate access to the full library collections of all eight colleges, as well as the full library collection of Springfield City Public Library, greatly expanding the opportunities for independent study and research.

The CLGS Librarians have also compiled a Union List of Serials,listing periodicals available in all libraries. Please note: a valid college ID and a local address are required to borrow materials from any CCGS Library. And when using other libraries, students are subject to their policies and regulations on loan periods, and possible penalties for overdue materials.

Individual Library hours periodically change, especially during the intersessions, summer, and holidays, so please call ahead or utilize the links listed below to obtain the most current information.
